Leading course trainer (17-22): D McCain (11 wins from 106 runners, 10%) runs COLLINGHAM Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): D McCain (2 wins from 21 runners, 10%) runs COLLINGHAM Longest Traveller: FRANSHAM trained by Mrs P Sly, Peterborough, 123 miles.

RACE DESCRIPTION This is a two mile handicap hurdle race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 140. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170.

TIMEFORM VIEW Genuine type who notched third success of the season when seeing off 6 rivals at Southwell (2m) last month. 4lb rise unlikely to prevent a prominent showing from this likeable type. Star RatingHHHHI BHA 126 3 ROMEO BROWN (GB) (158) 04213-1 D

TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful hurdler/chaser for Henry de Bromhead. Made a sound start for new stable when 11 lengths fourth in 2m Haydock handicap last December but he hasn’t been seen since. Betting perhaps the best guide. Star RatingHHIII BHA 119 5 COLLINGHAM (GER) (174) 321426- D
